CAUTION: Peanut and Peanut dust in area. Fresh sweet bread rolls made daily. Great Texas style place to get a delicious traditional steak, tasty appetizers and large variety of beers or cocktails. Large boot in waiting area. Great customer service. Plenty of parking.
August 2025
Visiting Michigan City. Saw some bad reviews on another website...but gave it a chance anyway. It was very good. Staff friendly and fast. Steak was cooked correctly and portions of sides are pretty generous. Even the Diet Mountain Dew was in a huge jar glass. I was shocked they had Diet dew as many places don't. Will gladly go back.
